Sorry about the restatement

I think plagiarism is a very complex problem and takes very high level thinking
to understand it. Paraphrasing is even a more difficult problem. For the past

Thanks for the help. I
thought of using the Mann-Whitney or the Kruskal-Wallis, but I have a lot of
ties (i.e., 500 participants spread over 5 ordinal categories). Any other
thoughts?

We once had some experts visit our university to dialogue about learning communities. Wouldn't it have been easier to just talk?
High schools offer classes in keyboarding. I liked my class in typing.
Although not an example of noun/verb confusion, my pet peeve is "utilize." Many people, especi

This is beginning to sound like a medieval Scholastic discussion about
angels and heads of pins. I do have one question. Does the word count

the Committee on Academic Standing, a committee that includes faculty, a dean,

Anyone who passed on it because they thought they were too busy should go back

Karl, you make a good point. And I like the clever way you made your point.
Believe me we go over the whole issue of quotations at the beginning of the
semester as well.
But what about these five words--well now I have to admit I was thinking 5
substantive words, not counting the a's and the's
Actually, a pet peeve of mine with the word "impact" is with its use in
titles of papers to infer causality (The impact of variable x on variable
y"). Too often, it turns out that the variable presumed to exert the
'impact' is really a subject variable like as sex or ethnicity, or some
other s
How busy is your committee? We have been talking about doing something
like this and are wondering how often the committee would need to meet?
How are members selected? Is it an all faculty group or are there
student/admin members?

Martha Capreol considers her students to have plagiarized if they use
any five words in a row that are identical to the source document, and
Annette Taylor might with four words in a row. Please note that "five words

That's the students' problem, not yours. And you can discuss the general
nature of the problematic work with board members before turning it in to see
if the work merits their evaluation.

Does your institution have policies or a committee to help you in this area?
At our college, all suspected cases of dishonesty must be referred to a
committee of faculty whose job it is to talk with the student(s) involved,
decide whether their actions were in fact dishonest, and determine any
I am not aware of any authoritative operational definition of correct
paraphrasing and different writing guides tend to suggest subtle
differences in what is tolerable as far as how much text ought to be
